About the Staff

This wooden staff is Raiden's weapon of choice. Long ago, it was given to him as a gift from the Elder Gods, and is made of a special kind of wood that can withstand electrical shocks.

At one point, Raiden gave Kai the weapon (in Kai's MK4 ending), that it could show him the ways to immortality and in Deception, Kai gives the staff to Shujinko for Kung Lao, that way he can rebuild the White Lotus.

Raiden's staff appears to be based on the Japanese bō staff, or the Chinese chang gun staff.
